OPIUM SMUGGLING AT DETROIT.

The IRE ssury Department UnearshiDg Gus
toms EsasiDns-A Ch.ns IN an Arrested
DETROIT, MICH Dec. 1.-THE Treas
ury Department has become satiaed that
nowhere on the whole frontier is there so
much smuggling, especially Of opium, as
Detroit The British Columbian border
has been SO closely guarie as to almost
wholly preclude the possibility OF intrO
DUO pg large quantities without paying $40
pound dQty. At Detroit, however, 1t
is & simple TASK to carry into the country
whole loads of opium surreptiti0usly.
This was recognized in the case Of r A.
Wes', recently arrested for illicit dealing
in the contrsbsnd. 1t was thought that
Vests arrest had broken up the business
at this point. The appearance 81 San
Francisco, and other Caifornis cities, of
Consisnments of opium, which had not paid
dufy, and which in some Cases bore cOun-
terieiG revenue stamps, disabused the de-
psrtment OF this. Special agents we're
set at work and the shipments Of opium
were traced to Detroit. Terence E. NC
Donough was given charge of the case.
Several weeks OF close watching, with
investigation pursued in Csnads, con.
vinced him that several Detroit
Cinnamon were employed in the sus-
pected traffic, Ind that their masters
were white men living in this city To-
day one arrest was made of Chinsmsn,
whose name is given by him as Joe
Wood. So far there is little evidence
against him. He has been considered
one of the most respectable Cinnamon 10
Detroit, and recently brought libel suit
against Detroit paper for stating that
he had permitted sparrow fighting in his
house.

a representative Of the Cleveland Brew

wreath on the casket OF Lingg. The
grave which had been prepared to receive
the remains OF the five anarchists had
been dug 100 feet north Of
where the ceremonies took place.
1t was twelve feet deep and leading to i.
was an inclined plane dug out OF thu earth.
At the bottom Of the receptacle is block
OF granite on which rests q bed Of cement
granite blocks from the walls and the top
consists of two blocks of granite foot
thick. This stone encased grave was
made to At exactly the five pine boxes in
which the five caskets were quietly
placed. The remains were carried
down the incline, and the sexton
and his assistsnces as quickly placed
them in position. Spies lies to the west,
his head TO the north, and beside him lie
in order Fischer, Parsons, Engel end

relatives came down the incline. The
first emotion from Nina Van Zandt was
displayed when the last coffin WAS low

lently when

but her tears were quickly staunched, and
during the rest of the time she showed
no violent grief. The grsve-diggers, with
the help of q derrick, then began to place
the big granite cap-stones in position. A
moment before this task was accom-
plished, two wTeaths which hsd just been
brought to the cemetery were placed 10
the grave. They were ordered by the

The caD-stones were lowered, cement WAS
spread over them, and the crowd walked
quickly GU. Of the cemetery, leaving the
defense committee to see that the grave
was properly filed with earth.

Chaffee and Bowen.

Jerome B. Chaffee, by the way, was
one of the nGblest characters that graced
the western mining districts in the flush
days when all men were brothers, all
were on "the square divide" and to be
known as the "whitest man in camp
which was Chaffee's reputation-was All
enviable distinction. More than one Door
miner in the olden days owes his subse-
quent success to Chaffee's kindness in
giving his foot a secure resting place on
the ladder of fortune. Among those
who were blessed with his protecting
friendship was ex-senator Tom Bowen. of
Colorado.
1t was in the poker and prospecting
period of ,Bowen's career, when he was
rich one day and went supperless to bed
the next. Tom on that particlar occasion
was experiencing an unusually hard
streak Of luck. He wandered around the
streets Of Denver without any shirt ON.
clutching a threadbare, buttonless swal-
lowtail coat with his half frozen hands To
keep the cold wind out, and wondering
where and how he was going to catch on
next, when he was met by Chaffee.
Bowen tried to dodge around corner-he
had known Chaffee short time before
when he was flush-but Chaffee darted
after and captured him. After a brief
conversation Chaffee presented him with
500 in cash, told him to strike out Tor the
mines, and when the money was Spent to
come back for more, Bowen went as di-
rected. He pottered around awhile on
the Del Norte river and finally struck ore
in the Little Aimee, which was the
foundation of a large fortune.-Cor. St.

A Fine Dinner in Japan.

BY invitation we went to the hotel one
evening to dine with this interesting fam
lily. The invitation was extended after
this manner: An elegant tray holding
box of choice CONNECTIONS, q. fan of ex-
Quisite workmanship, and ceremonial
folded paper blank, but tied with dainti-
est red and white silk cord. They re-
ceived us in light, airy apartments, where
the paper screens and doors were all re-
moved, making six rooms in one, neatly
matted and piled with soft cushions and
touches, besides large table and arm
chairs, this last being an effort to con-
form to foreign customs.
We, in turn, tried to conform to theirs,
and rested upon the cushions while being
served with delicate tea by Obsequious
servants, on delicately braided straw
walters from tiny cups of choicest ware,
and watched our dinner in course of prep
aration. This was cooked before our eyes
on little "hibochi," n braZen pot that
contains charcoal and cooking appara-
tus, which soon supplied us with the
choicest of mackerel, a leg of veniSon,
sweet potatoes and eggs. Spirited upon
the board was also roast duck. The
long, low table was profusely decorated
with Japan's choicest flowers, and huge
pyramids of half-peeled oranges and
sponge cake Whetted the appetite For
dessert we were served with tray of per-
simmons and a basket of pears, sweet
potato custard and lemon jelly. 1t is GER
tain that we partook of all with never to-
be-forgotten enjoyment, and much pleas

changes in the nation and its promising

The antagonism between the prince
and the czaris not Of modern birth or
later growths It dates. back from the
time when they were both children. They
used to meet every rear at Darmstadt.
The Empress Marie of Russia was In the
habit Of annually revisitinn the city Of
her birth, to spend afew wrecks with her
brothers, Alexandsk OF IIesse, and the
former Grand Dulee Louis LIE They
were 50 much liked by the Gar AIexan-
der II. that, in order to- beaear them, he
had his summer residence atrthe castle of
Jugenhein, and never failed to summon
near him the two little Battenberg boys,
his nephews.
Prince Alexander was so particularly a
favorite of the emperor that the jealous
rivalry of his own sons was thereby ex-
cited. Thus was laid the seeds of enmity
which has attracted so much attention.
One day at Jugenheim, the little Batten-
berg boy, seated on the cars knee toy
ing with his orders, asked the name of one
particular star. ut is the cross of st.
George" answered his uncle, "a cross that
you will wear on your breast when you
are Russian general and have won your
first victory"
At these words of his fathers the car
ewich turned away, impatiently mutter-
ing, so as to be heard, "Of course, all the
good things are for Germans now"
"Are you not German yourselfg" asked
the dauntless little boy. German blood
flows In your veins, imperial highness."

RAILWAY RUMBLINGS.
TRUNK LINE PRESIDENTS AND THE
INTERSTATE COMMERCE LAW.

A Committees Report on the Long and
Short Haul-Mileage Tickets Abol-
ished-A New Route Between Boston
and Duluth Contelnplated-TheI Illinois
Central Road In Wisconsin.
New YORK, March 1+.-At the meeting
Of the trunk-line presidents Friday to agree
upon matters relating to passenger tsafhc
under the Interstate law, it was decided 10
retain second.class tickets to points ss Tar
west as Chicago, and to abolish them On oil
other routes Immigrant fares win remain
the same as at present for tickets sold I'm
Europe, but no distinction viii Be made On
tickets sold on this side. The cheap farcs
only apply to west-bound tickets Agents
commissions and mileage tickets are abol.
ished Ministers are to be allowed reduced
fares. Excursion tickets are defined to mean
a round-trip ticket sold at a reduced rate.
Free baggage IS allowed of $50 pounds on
each full first or second class ticket, and sew
Cnty-five pounds on each half-ticket. No
commercial luggage, musical instruments,
organs, pianos, donkeys, horses, or theatrical
scenery VIII be transported as free baggage.
The following committees report was re-
Ceived.
Under the section referring to the long and
short haul We understand that the law deals
with fares in the aggregate, and that the
proportion Of 4 through fare need not of
necessity control local fares. In case Of
greater charges for q shorter distance, by
reason OF the competition Of water lines or
otherwise, your committee believes that they
have no right TO permit such fares to con-
tinue, or 10 be made, without the authorize
ton OF the national commission. If the
fare from Portland to Chicago, by way of
Boston, is made less than the fare from Bos-
ton TO Chicago by the same route, the roads
constituting the route from Boston should
either reduce their Boston fare or refuse to
accept tickets from Portland by way Of Bos-
ton at the lesser rate, without authority Of
the national commission; and so Of all ana
Joyous cases.

The interesting researches in Germany
of Professor E. Wollny have shown that
both soil and crops have a great influence
upon the proportion of moisture in the at
mosphere. Other things being equal, the
atmospheric moisture is greatest over
humus soils, least over sands, and takes
an intermediate position over clays. The
air over fiat and concave surfaces is
moister than that over ad jacent slopes.
Ground inclining to the north contributes
more to the moisture Of the air than
southern slopes, while easterly and west
erly inclines take an intermediate place.
The moisture is greater over plant-cov-
cred tract than over bare soil, and in
creases with the density Of the yegeta-
ton.
Among ordinary crops, meadows impart
most moisture to the air; then follow
, perennial fodder plants, such as clover
and lucerne; then summer crops which
have prolonged vegetation, such as tur-
nips, maize, oats, beans, and potatoes;
then those of briefer growth, as flax, rye
barley and pease; and, lastly, winter

The Houses in Vienna.

There are no such ambitious structures
in Vienna as in many places-no six, seven,
ten, twelve story buildings such as you
see in some European and several Ameri-
can cities, for there is a law in Vienna
that no business or residence block shall
rise higher than four stories. They got
around this by counting from the first floor,
which in most European houses is found
at the top of the first story, so what in a
building you term the first story is no
story at all, and hence the Vienna house
may have what you count as five stories.
AS most of these are literally spaced be-
tween joints, they seem quite high enough
and with the multitude of projections
and Communications have very elegant
appearance. All builders seem to take
great pains in their work, and the result
is that Vienna has some of the most ele-
CANT streets in the world.-Foreign

portion Of the south western business, the
company will secure line Of road with uso-
essary branches through the great lumber
region of middle and northern Wisconsin,
the objective point of which has not yet been
decided upon,
By far the most important step contem-
plated, and one which, it is said, there-is now
no doubt of being taken and for which ne
gotiations are making, is the purchase by
the Illinois Central company of the Wiscon-
sin Central line from Chicago to Ashland

the rights and titles of the various companies
owning the line, its lands, shops, machinery,
and rolling stock
